TARIFF REFORM LEAGUE!

On Friday evening, June 21st, 1889, a meeting will be held at the Court House, in Eensselaer, for the purpose of organizing a Tariff Reform League in this place. With .he highest protective tariff the country has ever known and starvation wages the hire of the workingmen of the land; with monopc lies arrcgant and soulless and the Harrisonian administration laying into their hands, the time 2 s certainly auspicious for the organization of Tariff Reform Leagues in every city, village and hamlet in the country. The so called protection is a delusion and a fraud. The terrible disaster at Johnstown and other points, occasioned bv the recent freshet occupies almost the entire space of the dalies since that event. Johnstown has but few buildings left standing within her limits, and it is believed the number of lives’ lost will exceed 15,000. At other points, on the Juniata and Susquehanna and other streams there is great destruction of life and pro perty. At T-ewistown the bridges, supposed to have bui t beyond the reach of high water, are swept away. .

Our former townsman, E. C. Nowels, writes from Minneapolis, Colorado, June 2d, to his brother, 0. D. Nowels, at this place: Our onco beautiful town of Min neapolis is now almost a solid mass of ruins. “Storm-King” visited us yesterday evening about 6 o’clock and left desolation in i l s track. The track of the storm was from nw to se and was only a few hundred yards wide. About 4 o clock in th * afternoon a cloud began forming in the northwest and continued to grow black and threatening until the wind, what little there was,turned to the northwest, when the heavens seemed to be in one mighty commotion, the clouds forming into whirlpools of which there were throe distinct currents. As cloud came thundering on, making a loud rear* mg noise like that of wind blowing •over the mouths of hundreds |of openJjage, men <vho had stood in the front ranks of battle and never fiirched rushed to their :omes in terror and got their families into the cellars. Everett and Trelly were out and just reached the house 1 gfcre the storm burst in its mast terrific force. Out of 204 buddings in our town 72 of them this morning are damaged or en - tirely destroyed (this does not include outbuildings), 25 of these are strewn over the prairie and are only fit for kindling wood. On North Main street the buildings on Loth sides f.'e entirely gone down to the Kreamer Bargain house, except the P. O. building on west side an-t the house we first moved into, while on the east side only two stood the pressure, one of which Nancy Haley lived in. She and several other women so ,ght safety in the cellar. On South Main B*. and Central Ave the destruction was equally as bad. Immediately north of W. R. Parker’s building and south of J. Dolton’s grocery are several buildings completelydestroyed. Parker’s hour e came one all right. One of P. D. Slingerland’s houses on west side of Main st. was picked from the fouhdation and masked into the west side of the Grand Central Hotel, making it look sorry indeed. The residence of W. H. Bo vdle was destroyed and the contents scattered to the four winds, consis'ingcf costly furniture, trunks and clothing, they being on their claim, one mile south of town. Several houses wu-e lifted from

their foundations, carried several 1 hundred feet, turned entirely around and left standing all right. Th resli<ac« of Mr Bowhue wan carded several feet, and the kitebon part has gon to “No Mau’s Laad.”— The storm lifted the lesidcnce of H. E. Sommers from foundation and started with it and hie family to OkItthotna. but chrnged its mind and s»t him down on another lot spine distance away. The building of C. M. Hopkins, on west side of Main street, is a total ruin. Our new school aousc, two s oiies hi h was moved from the foundation and bad1* damaged. Strange, indeed, t’at no one was hurt. Yet some say it was not a cyclone. If it was not, I never want to see a full gr wn one. There was as immense amount of rain aid hail felt during the storm, damaging crops badly Folks all well and crops loosing tolerably weil

EZRA C NOWELS.

Indianapolis Sentinel: Mr. Sim Coy, by the grace of President Harrison, was able to return home yesterday, once more a free man. He received a warm welcome from the old friends and neighbors who have never lost faith in him, believing him to have been the victim of a wicked partisan conspiracy. The infamous course of Judge Woods in the recent election cases has strengthened this belief. It is well to remember that Cey was convicted upon the unsupported testimoay'of a self-confessed perjurer, and that the tribunal before which he was tried was “organized to convict.” It is well also to bear in mind that, if he did commit any offense he has fully expiated it. He has paid the penalty of the crime of which he was accused, whether he was guilty c f it’or not. He has suffered imprisonment while men notoriously guilty of offenses ten times as serious as that imputed to h.m were receiving the protection and countenance of the very persons who were most relentless in urging his prosecution. That he is a man of fine natural abilities and many admirable qualities, everybody whe knows him will concede. His past is behind him; his future is in his own hands. The Sentinel Ropes and believer that that future will be such as to vindicate the judgment of those who have always insisted that Coy was not guilty and whose fidelity to him has bean due to their firm belief in his innocence, and not to any’sympathy with fraud.

Is the Truth a Libel?

In the case of the Shelby county vote-buyer, Samuel J. Carpenter, the evidence that he practiced wholesale and systematic bribery was absolutely overwhelming The defendant’s own testimony established his guilt. But it was not and could not be pro / d that his corrupt expenditures of money affected the election of a representative in congress, and for this reason Judge Woods instructed the jury to return a verdict es acquittal, which it did without leaving the box.

In the Coy case the evidence showed that the fraud with wnich Coy was charged was rot intended to affect, did not affect and could not possibly have affected the election ot a representative in congress. Yet this same Judge Woods, who had exhibited trom the beginning of the proceedings the most intense anxiety to convict, instruc ed (virtually) the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty. If Judge Woods was right in his Carpenter ruling, as h > probably was, his instruction in the. Coy case was au infamous judicial outrage. The two rulings were directly in conflict. The bare statement of the facts carries his condemnation with it. and that is probably why his organ calls it 4 a base and brainless libel.'’ The Journal’s “wild and reckless lying’’ about these matters will not help Judge Woods, however. His judicial ieput tion is utterly gone, and no amount of organic lying or h lir-splitting can save even a shred of it.— ndianapolis Sentinel. The Sentinel does not mince it ß words. It strikes out from the shoulder and hits hard.

Circuit and Commissioners’ Coarts convened last Monday. A ttarneys Graham and Marshall have moved into up-stairs rooms in the Makeever bank building. Trustee GreenfLL. will occupy the same rooms.

CIRCULAR LEITER DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOT,

Census Office, Washington, D. 0.. May 1,1889. To the Medical Profession : The various me leal associations and the medical prefession will b* glad to learn that Dr. John S. Billings, Surgeon U. S. Army, has com* tented to take charge of ihe Report on the Mortality and Vital Statistics of the United States as io th* Eleventh Census: As the United Stales has no system of registration of vlt d statistics, sueh as is relied opon by other civilized nations for the purpos of ascertain ing the actual movement of population, our census affords tho only opportunity of obtaining Dear an ape proximate estimate of ths birth and d®ath rates of much the larger partoi the country, which is entirely unprovided with any natisfaetory system of State and municipal registration. In view of this, tho Census Office, during the month of May this year, will issue to the medical profession throughout the country “Phvsician’s Registers” for the purpose of obtaining more accurate returns of deaths than itis possible for the enumerators to make. It is earnestly hoped that physicians in every part of the country will co -operate with the Ceacu-’ Cffiee in this importaat work, The reeord shou'd oe kept from June I, ’BB9, to May 31,1890. Nearly 26.000 of these registration books were filled up and returned to the office in 1880, and nearly all of them used for statistical purposes. It is hoped that do ble this number will be obtained for tho Eleventh Census. Physicians not rec iving Registers can obtain them bv sending their names and addresses to the Census Office, and. with the Register, ac official envelope which requires no stamp will be provided for their turn ‘o Washington. If all medical and surgical practitioners throughout the country will lend their aid, the mortality and vital stati tics of the Eleventh Census will be more eomprehensive aud com* plete than they have ever been. Eve. rv physician should take a personal pricU in having this report as full and accurate as it is mssiole to make K It is hereby promised tfi.-.t all information obtained -hroKgh this source shall beheld strictly confidential.
